About Me

I am a stay at home mom of 3 young very active kids, ages 8, 6, and 2. My children LOVE to craft and seem to have an affinity for it. I am never surprised but gladdened when their teachers comment on their love of crafting in any form. Only it makes it difficult to keep them out of my craft supplies. I really do not think that they are ready from my Copic Markers, yet. My kitchen table looks like an old farmhouse work table from all the love and activity it sees.

I can remember crafting at my Grandmother's knee. I do not remember learning to sew, but I do remember sitting on my mother's lap listening to the whirl of her Singer. I spent my Summers at my Grandmother's in a small town in Northern Kentucky surrounded by both my parent's families. My grandmother taught me everything from gardening, canning, knitting, quilting all the way down to basket weaving. I can remember during my tweens her taking me along while she taught crafting classes for the Kentucky Extension Office.

Now my crafting is a stress buster for me. It is usually done when I should be doing housework....ha ha. My biggest goal this year is to finish some of my larger crafts (ie quilts, samplers) before starting off on new ones.
